I stopped at lvl 4. I can't find one guy (Archon? in forest) and I don't know yet how to defeat power of ring from Rina-zombie. I start again from save state with lvl 2 and I try to find another way to complete the missions - for example I bought a cow for Royal Thorn this time without fight this strong plant. I want to use more diplomacy :)

The quest of the guy named Archon can't be completed in the demo, he's not in any forest of the demo version, I guess is in another area of the full version ;)

Archon.. isn't he the circus master ? If so, yeah, he isn't in the demo.

The quests that cannot be completed are:
The second quest from the menagerie
The quest from the bishop or deacon or other high cleric from the knights temple.
The quest from the Mage School
The Quest from the Dwarven Airskipper.

You need to remove the curse from the ring. You do this by right clicking on it in the hero menu. Then you fight to uncurse it. This fight is quite easy.

Well, in fact, you don't need to defeat the Keepers of the ring to complete the quest of Rina. I tried to kill the miller and then go to the thieves guild, and I was able to remove the curse of Rina. But yeah, I have to say that the first time I did that, it was a little weird situation because the hero knew the magical words to remove the curse without having defeated the Keepers, and consequently without having spoken for the third time with the mages :rolleyes:

Embalm ?
 

Does the embalm (sp) you choose at the start of the demo have any effect ? If so what ?

Embalm ?.. What are you talking about ?

I think he means emblem. No, it doesn't have any effect in the game.

The Emblem ? No it's just for show and doesn't serve any purpose beyond that.

anyone notice how you get almost twice the amount of runes at easy when compared to normal difficulty and a bit more than half the normal amount on hard and impossible?

i've managed to get to the lvl 15 tournament challenge with my lvl 6 mage now, the ogres are a pain in the ass not to mention the giants with their stomp :/

the leadership item upgrade fight 1 is really hard (like about 200 swordsmen split across 5 groups, 4-5 Towers and a pack of archmages) when compared to the staff upgrade lvl 1.

maybe these fights could be doable if i could get my chaos magic to lvl 3...
